A category-defining upgrade for the front door — much like how Tesla redefined automotive energy, the V150 Plus introduces a new era of low-maintenance, eco-conscious home access with solar power, 3D face recognition, and AI-powered curved fingerprint sensor technology
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DESLOC, a global smart lock brand backed by DESMAN's 17 years of engineering experience and trusted by nearly 10 million families worldwide, today announced that the DESLOC V150 Plus, the world's first low-light self-charging solar smart lock, is now live on Kickstarter.
Within the first one hour of launch, the campaign attracted strong early momentum and reached 100% funding from early adopters eager to support the next generation of low-maintenance smart home security, and within 48 hours, this campaign has already attracted interest from more than 300 people and raised over $200,000, exceeding its crowdfunding goal by 2,339%.
The V150 Plus brings a Tesla-like upgrade to the front door, delivering a generational leap for the smart lock category by rethinking one of its most fundamental challenges: power. While smart locks have transformed the way people access their homes, most still depend on batteries that need to be replaced, recharged, or constantly monitored.
Powered by an integrated perovskite solar panel, the V150 Plus converts light into energy to help recharge its removable 10,000 mAh battery, even in low-light and shaded entryway conditions. Combined with DESLOC's intelligent energy management system, the lock is designed to reduce battery maintenance while supporting a lower-waste, more environmentally friendly smart home experience.
"The next major smart home upgrade may not be another app feature — it may be a new power source," said Mark Dong, CEO at DESLOC Smart Lock. "With V150 Plus, we are bringing a Tesla-like moment to the front door: a shift toward smarter, lower-maintenance, and more sustainable home access powered by light."
From Battery Anxiety to Solar Self-Charging
For many homeowners, the biggest concern with smart locks is not how to unlock the door — it is whether the lock has enough power when they need it most. The V150 Plus shifts the conversation from "How do I unlock my door?" to "Why does my lock still need charging?"
By integrating solar replenishment directly into the lock, DESLOC aims to give homeowners a more dependable and lower-maintenance way to secure their homes. The self-charging design can also help reduce the need for frequent battery replacement and manual charging, supporting a more environmentally friendly smart home experience and helping lower battery waste over time.
For homeowners, locksmiths, installers, and smart home professionals, the V150 Plus offers a more future-ready solution that combines renewable power, biometric access, and app-based control in a single connected lock.
The V150 Plus has already received recognition across leading technology, smart home, CES, and design award programs, including CES-related honors and the MUSE Design Award Gold Award, underscoring its position as one of the most innovative smart lock launches of the year.
Beyond Keys: Faster, Smarter Home Access
Beyond its solar-powered design, the V150 Plus combines multiple advanced access technologies in one connected lock.
The V150 Plus features 3D face recognition with liveness detection, enabling hands-free access while helping prevent spoofing attempts. It also includes DESLOC's curved-touch fingerprint sensor with AI fingerprint recognition algorithm, which recognizes in as fast as 0.15 seconds and adapts over time for improved recognition, even with weak or damaged fingerprints.
With built-in Wi-Fi, homeowners can monitor battery status, check lock activity, manage access, and control the lock remotely through the DESLOC App, without requiring an additional hub. The V150 Plus also supports voice assistant integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Bringing Self-Charging Smart Access to Early Adopters
The DESLOC V150 Plus Kickstarter campaign launched on June 25, 2026. During the first week, backers can secure V150 Plus for $199 (MSRP $399.99) and receive a free DESLOC C110 smart lock, limited to the first 500 backers who complete their payment.
More than another smart lock with additional access options, the V150 Plus represents a new energy logic for the front door — one where home access becomes smarter, easier to maintain, more environmentally responsible, and powered by self-charging solar technology.

Funded 100% Within One Hour: The Innovation Behind DESLOC V150 Plus
BEIJING, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a news report from China Daily:
When seeking economic growth and delivering benefits to the people, political parties in Global South countries should act based on their national conditions, chart suitable paths to achieve modernization, boost mutual learning and improve global governance, said prominent political figures, scholars and media executives.
They made the remarks on Friday in Beijing during the 2026 Think Tank Forum on National Governance in Developing Countries. The high-level forum took place ahead of the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, which falls on Wednesday.
Over 150 experts, scholars and media representatives from more than 20 countries and international organizations attended the event.
Xie Chuntao, executive vice-president of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, also known as the National Academy of Governance, said the Chinese path to modernization is viable and steadily advancing, and "it is the only correct path to building a great country and achieving national rejuvenation".
To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core has provided scientific theory guidance, advanced and broadened the right path, mapped out a magnificent strategic blueprint and provided strong institutional guarantees, he said.
China's five-year plans take five years as a development phase, Xie said, adding that by formulating these plans, strategies are broken down into phased tasks "to ensure that the right things are done at the right time and that we follow the right path".
Qu Qingshan, president of the Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee, said that over the past 105 years, the CPC has shouldered four major responsibilities — leading the country, promoting development, preserving the nation's culture and maintaining peace.
Political parties should "constantly focus on and resolve challenges to development, secure and improve people's livelihoods through growth, and ensure that the fruits of development benefit all people more extensively and equitably", Qu said.
"For the past 105 years, the CPC has consistently stood on the right side of history. It has opposed aggression, oppression and hegemony, and has always been a staunch force for securing world peace," he added.
Qu Yingpu, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, noted that China has proposed four major global initiatives to pool efforts for modernization, cement the foundation of common security, promote the diversity of world civilizations and expand pathways for building a community with a shared future for humanity.
"The CPC increasingly serves as a vital force in driving political parties around the world to jointly explore the laws and patterns of governance, exchange experiences in governing a country, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and advance the progress of human civilization," he said.
Chang Bo, president of China International Communications Group, highlighted three key aspects — innovation in theory, a people-centered stance, and openness and win-win cooperation — and their significance in governance by political parties.
Looking back at history, "political parties' values, leadership, governing capabilities, morale and determination directly shape the future and destiny of a country's modernization", he said.
As the ruling party of the world's largest developing country, the CPC has always highly valued friendly cooperation with political parties around the world, particularly those in developing nations, Chang added.
Greater responsibilities
Tamara Duisenova, director of the Academy of Political Management of Kazakhstan and former Kazakh deputy prime minister, said the historical mission of political parties "goes far beyond participating in elections; it lies in building a social consensus on the future".
"Contemporary political parties not only shoulder important domestic responsibilities, but are also becoming institutions of public diplomacy, promoting mutual understanding among countries, facilitating the exchange of experiences and fostering an atmosphere of trust," she said.
Jose Luis Centella, chairman of the Communist Party of Spain, said that countries in the Global South and the Global North should engage in an equal dialogue, reject zero-sum games and colonial thinking, and move toward multilateral relations centered on win-win cooperation.
The Belt and Road Initiative provides a solid foundation for the implementation of the four major global initiatives, enabling them to truly become practical tools for developing countries to advance effective national governance, he said.
Erik Solheim, chair of the Europe-Asia Center and former undersecretary-general of the United Nations, noted that China expanded its economy and eliminated poverty at the same time. The improved ecology in China has proved to be "an enormous economic asset", he said.
Highlighting the role of China's special economic zones in driving industrialization, Solheim said that it is important to focus on certain clusters where people can "think together and develop together".
Ong Tee Keat, former deputy speaker of the lower house of the Malaysian parliament and former Malaysian transport minister, said the CPC has proved its profound vigor in evolving from a grassroots-based revolutionary party into a force of governance that remains highly innovative in these changing times.
He endorsed China's efforts in global artificial intelligence governance to bridge the digital divide that threatens to leave the Global South behind.
